　　Leaving Home

　　When I told my mother, she looked at me as if I had slapped her face．

　　“What? Live in London?” she said．

　　“I just feel it’s time I saw a little more of the world．After all, mum, I’m twenty-two!’

　　Just then my father came downstairs, looking relaxed as he always did after his Sunday afternoon nap．I had chosen the moment carefully．

　　“Clive wants to leave home．He doesn’t want to live with us any more,” she told him in a trembling voice．My father’s expression changed．

　　“What? You aren’t serious, are you, son?” he asked．He sat down at the table opposite me．

　　Perhaps my parents wouldn’t have reacted this way if they hadn’t spent all their lives in a small village in Wales．Perhaps my mother in particular wouldn’t have been so possessive if her only other child hadn’t died as a baby．I tried to explain to them that the bank I worked for had offered me a chance to take a job in their head office．But I didn’t dare to tell them I had already accepted the job．

　　“London’s a long way away．We ll hardly see you any more, ” my father said．

“I can come back at weekend, dad．”

　　He shook his head, looking more and more like someone who had just been given a few months to live by his doctor．

　　“I don’t know, son, I don’t know．”

　　He shook his head again and then got up and walked out into the garden．

　　My mother and I sat there at the table．In the silence, I could hear the old clock ticking away in the hall．There were tears in my mother’s eyes．I knew she was going to put pressure on me to give up the idea, and I wonder if it was wrong of me to want to leave my family, the village and the people I had known all my life to live among the English in their cold, strange capital．

　　She put her hand over mine．

　　“Your father hasn’t been well lately．Neither have I．You know that．But we won’t stand in your way if it’s what you really want,” she said．

Answer 1

答案：
解析：

I accepted a job in London and when I told my parents that I wanted to live in London which was a long way, they couldn’t believe what I said．They thought I didn’t want to live with them any more, so they felt unhappy．Although they weren’t well lately, my mother said that they wouldn’t stand in my way if it’s what I really wanted． 　　An only child always appears to be sensitive and vulnerable since at home he is protected by his parents and relatives．But on the other hand, as an only child is well-fed and has more chances to be well-educated, he is usually more intelligent than other children．Growing up alone, he’s more likely to take up responsibilities by himself and tends to be competitive among his peers．However, these good qualities cannot help an only child to achieve his goals if he doesn’t overcome his fatal weaknesses．
